Our goal is to keep the planet blue For that we need some green To justify our requests we need not dream A surfeit of quandaries around us gleam Pondering growing bread can make some of us see red. The phosphorescence of sheets white and bright may impede our amity with creatures of the bight. A lot of what we put in the air accumulates in receptors beyond repair. Inscribing the chain of cause...

We have further developed and improved the prototype oceanic Fraunhofer line discriminator by using a well-protected fiber-optic-wire cable and in-water electronic housing. We conducted a series of in situ measurements in clear ocean water in the Florida Straits. By comparing the reduced data with the Monte Carlo simulation results, we verify the Raman scattering coefficient B(r) with an excita...

Since the errors made in estimating distance under water are dependent on the degree of water turbidity, improvement through training in one body of water will not transfer to another body of water if there is a large difference in turbidity. This experiment demonstrated that the transfer problem can be overcome by training divers under different turbidity conditions so that they learn to tailo...

Artificial neural networks, ANNs, have been widely used especially in the last two decades. ANNs have a wide range of scientific applications, they are used for pattern recognition and forecasting of natural mechanisms. In water treatment, ANNs have enormous potential, especially to support workers in plant operation. In clear water plants are taking large volumes of data, especially informatio...

Water clear cell parathyroid adenoma is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. In this rare disease entity, normal parathyroid tissue is replaced with growth of water-clear cells, instead of the chief cell hyperplasia associated with the majority of parathyroid adenomas. We present the case of a water clear cell parathyroid adenoma in a 54 year old woman with symptomatic hypercalcemia, as...
